1930fordpickup

Welcome aboard.

I talked to our programmer at work guy at work. He worked at an injection shop before our shop. He told me that plastic starts to flash around .003 of an inch ( the thickness of your hair). So if the mold or the inserts have a gap as large as that we get flash on our parts. I have a 57 wagon from Revell that has flash and short shots in 2 different boxes. Of course I find that out after I find out about their troubles. Nothing that can not be worked around but these are new molds.

Still loving this build. My late brother had a small bumper Grabber in red. Rusty as you would expect here in Michigan. 302, 3 speed with the grabber hood. I always liked that car. So my point, A maverick looks good in red.

Back in the day we were told that hoods were paint a flat color to help stop sun glare. That might be just an old tale I was told. Better than nothing. LOL

My wallet is starting to hurt just looking at these again. So many ideas.

?? Off to a great start. only a few months until drag week.

Not sure I have ever found one at a show. I did find a re-builder in ebay.

Thank you Tom for posting. I am glad to hear he is doing well.

Well I went to the Auto Rama in Detroit and avoided the models because I had a couple of Moebius pickup's 65,66,70 here before I went. trying not to buy as many new kits. trying but succeeding lately.

Nice looking Model A

This looks nice, great color choice.

That was my favorite car. I talked to the owner. it was built in a one car garage by the owner and his buddy. Great idea and a very nice car. Sure there were nicer cars with a much larger budget but I like this little Rambler.

Yes looks great. I like the flat black, shadows don't have a shine. When you put it on the body for mock up you will have a better idea of how it looks.

Looks great Ray.

This is very interesting. I like it because it is different.

?

This looks nice.

They are the same for the most part. I feel it is just what decade it is said in.

If you can't figure out the ad it is not aimed at you. I should say not aimed at us. Lets face it we are old. LOL

That is one super nice Deuce.

She was my favorite secondary cast member.

These look great.

Man that is cool.

I think this car was unsold at a dealer for the model year. Just a guess because why would a 4 door be stored for value when cars were not big money unless it was a Classic then. Now if it was a small bumper Grabber I would be all over it. A few years ago they sold that Chevy collection from an old dealer in OK (I think that was the state) and there were many 4 door cars they never sold but parked them in a yard.
